Hi coach, Can we chopping sideways, like how you do tomahawk serve, instead of brushing it downway? Thanks. Edwin

Hi Edwin,

You can do this but it becomes a bit more risky.  For more control it is easier to play with straight underspin.

If you play it well it can be a good variation especially against someone who struggles with spin.
